How does it self inflate?

Initially I thought it blew itself up on its own. I definitely had to help it along via blowing in the in-valve the first night. Second night it inflated itself better. From what I've read, after it's broken in a bit, it inflates itself almost totally. Either way, I can honestly say it's well worth it even if you have to give it a few extra blows. Extremely comfortable & durable. No kidding, I think I like it better than my own bed!! Lol!!

It does require an air pump to inflate. I used an air compressor because it actually requires quite a bit of air to fully inflate. Totally worth it though. I actually own three of them now. Highly recommend it.

It doesn't self-inflat, you give it a few short bursts of breath and it's inflated. What I learned about it is that it's most comfortable Not totally inflated -- you need some "play" to cushion. Also, don't miss out on the "secret" -- it's not only soothing comfort for the tush, it's heaven for feet (partially inflate and put it on the floor and put your tootsies on top, feels wonderul, especially on flights). My husband and I really had delightful relief on flights.

Turn the plastic valve, it will self inflate then close the valve to keep the air in.

It doesn't auto-inflate. Technically, you could blow it up by mouth but you'd probably get dizzy and risk passing out. In your case, maybe you could get a portable hand bike pump, they're cyndrical, light weight abt foot long, 1 inch diameter.

When you see "self-inflating" do not think it is to max capacity. Think more of a really nice head start on blowing it up.

There is a valve you open, and then the interior structure causes it to expand and pull air in. Sometimes you do have to blow a little air in as well, but it's nothing like blowing up a normal air mattress.

You plug it into the outlet and it fills some of the pockets with air and then they deflate and the rest fill alternately.Works pretty well. My mom thought it was comfortable and she didn't get skin breakdown.

The pump is built into the bed. You just push a button on an attached controller to inflate or deflate and you can choose how much air to let in, for firmness control.

If you have already "pulled the plug" on the air valve, use a compressor with a long attachment to insert into the air valve. It will inflate within seconds.

Hi, the inflator is attached to an air hose. My air hose is connected to a 3 gallon air tank that's filled using an air compressor. It takes two hands. You hold the inflator in one hand with your thumb on the lever. You hold the end of the tube in your other hand and push it down on the Schrader valve on the wheel. You do have to press hard otherwise it will leak. When you press the lever, the air will enter the tire. The pressure gauge sticks out and gives a continuous reading the whole time you're using the inflator.

a little pump comes with it and by hand or foot you pump it up till firm...and you stick the plug that is removable back in it....very easy, completely user friendly....I've used my ball for years and rarely need to add air....it's the most fun exercise at home you can find!

Very simple, if you need to deploy the inflatable mechanism all you do is yank on the handle and it will inflate. Or you can pull the tube tucked inside the vest and inflate manually (then you won't have to buy a rearming kit).

With a good pair of lungs and taking your time you can do it yourself, but we used a bicycle pump, much faster. Be careful not to over inflate. It is a great little item for my Granddaughter she loves it.

Hi, the item which i got has manual pump, it takes some time and energy to fill it, but it never deflates.

Not sure what you mean exactly, but if you mean does it automatically inflate it's self when it loses air during use, the answer is no. You need to turn on the pump to inflate the mattress. It will lose air in the course of normal use, especially if left inflated for a period of time. Just plug into an outlet and turn on the pump to inflate to reinflate to desired firmness.

Not sure but its heavy. Without inflation, I can left it and move it for a short distance like a few feet. When it's inflate, it's impossible to move.
